Seattle Tree Service Can Help You Remove Unsightly Stumps

The hardest part of removing a dead or unwanted tree is often getting rid of a stump, because unlike the tree itself, it can’t be used for firewood. Removing a stump can be very difficult if the tree is in the middle of a lawn or garden you don’t want to damage. Obviously you can’t use the methods our grandfathers used for stump removal, such as burning stumps or blowing them up with dynamite. Nor do you want to bring in a bulldozer and have it rip the stump out because that would harm your lawn or garden. Many people think that the only option in such a case is to slowly hack the stump up with an axe.

There is a much better and safer solution: it’s called stump grinding. A stump grinder is a piece of equipment that can reduce a stump to a heap of sawdust. You should not perform this process without the help of a professional tree service. They should be able to come out and grind the stump into mulch in just a couple of hours.

Even the biggest stumps can be ground down. Stump grinding gets rid of stumps in a safe and responsible way. Stump grinding is also ecologically sound because it turns an unwanted tree into mulch that you can use for fertilizer. This is an option every household should use.
